It only gets better - 2008 Pontiac G8
By Rod - April 12 - 4:20 amAm going on 5 months with my G8 GT experience. There are minor flaws I have found if you can call them flaws. The most exciting one is that when you step on the gas in anyway less than very gentle it responds like a startled cat, it flat jumps and screams for red line. I have also noticed that once I shift into sports mode or manual mode and stand on the throttle, the car changes from a docile car to a beast, and seems to stay that way till I shut it off and drive it again. It may be a glitch in my G8s computer. I will not go get this if it is a glitch.. I love it. This car loves to be driven. If you love driving you will love this car. It rocks!

142 of 888 - 2008 Pontiac G8
By 142 of 888 - March 18 - 10:53 amI decided a while ago never to buy an American car again. However I came home with a 4-door Corvette! Couldnt wait for the gxp and I must say this car is great! I wanted a Corvette or that new Camaro but its taking forever. It has a ton of interior room more than a charger srt8 which I drove. Gas mileage is okay but if I wanted better I should get a Toyota Prius!

Why buy a BMW? - 2008 Pontiac G8
By Hilbilly - March 11 - 4:53 amI am really impressed with my Pontiac G8-GT. Its a real rocket but it doesnt guzzle gas. It holds five easily, although I rarely ever have more than two of us in it. Most important, is the fact that it does everything my friends BMW 550 does at half the price. I was really impressed with how well its built and how solid it feels on the road. It handles very well and imparts a sense of confidence when I drive it. I guess if you need the snob appeal of a BMW then spend the extra $30K otherwise this G8-GT is a great buy. I had one of the first GTOs and this reminds me of it.

Amazing! - 2008 Pontiac G8
By Jessica - February 17 - 2:50 amI bought this car 3 weeks ago and absolutely feel in love! It is the hottest car on the road. My fiance and I went out to eat and had a crowd of people stop and just want to look at what it was. No one has a clue that Pontiac has made such an outstanding car. THANKS GM!!!

4 Door Vette - 2008 Pontiac G8
By Dave - December 29 - 5:10 amThis car is big, heavy, fast, but stops and handles well. It has good sight lines. The interior has annoying features like the oil battery gauge and air bag light on mirror. No satellite radio was available. It is a joy to drive, easy to park, and smoooth! Remote start and climate control are a big plus. The drivers wiper was annoying. I used a shorter blade to solve the tapping issue. A lot of car for 30 grand! It really gets 18mpg daily and I am not cautious.

#607 of 888 - 2008 Pontiac G8
By Sean - December 7 - 3:20 amI just picked up my G8 GT today. Its #607 of the original 888 made by Holden (actually has a Holden VIN #). Amazing car. Fun to drive, beautiful to look at it. Between the stares driving home, and the neighbors all coming around to tell me how amazing it looks, its certainly a winner. So far so good!

Dont - 2008 Pontiac G8
By EAS - August 29 - 9:10 amThe interior is sloppy, and there are very limited choices for seats. I should have known, but I thought this car was going to bankrupt me when gasoline went to $4 last summer. The best thing about it is how much power you get for the money.

Poor mans bmw - 2008 Pontiac G8
By aldinero - August 29 - 8:16 amGreat car to drive. Ride and handling as good as it gets. Very comfortable seating. Steering is precise very good brakes. Radio only fair, controls somewhat confusing and seat back control knob hard to reach. Overall a competitive performance car.

GM Nailed This One! - 2008 Pontiac G8
By Bobbyg8great! - July 16 - 8:00 pmWhat a great car inside and out. It is pure fun. It is powerful and comfortable. I can haul around the kids with plenty of room to spare. Everywhere I go, people ask me what kind of car it is. I can 70 mph in a heart beat and cruise comfortably and quietly at 80 mph. The fuel economy hovers around 20 miles to the gallon. I get this even when Im hard on the pedal. I would like the V8 to sound a bit more like a V8, but the wife doesnt know what it is all about this way. Overall this car has been the most pleasing to drive out of all my vehicles. I have owned Caddys, Mercedes, Jeeps, and a Porsche. I think GM nailed this one, it might be a bit too late though.

GM Is Back On Track - 2008 Pontiac G8
By G8 Is Great - June 5 - 7:10 pmIve had my G8 almost two months now and like it more each day. The car is amazing to drive from the plentiful power to the superb handling, it makes you want to take the long way every where you go. The G8 is very comfortable and roomy in size and will easily accommodate taller individuals. Fuel economy is excellent considering this is a 4000 lb vehicle with a 361 hp V8 capable of comfortably hauling 5 full size passengers. Plus the G8 is half the cost of a 5 series and the V8 form is cheaper than a similarly equipped Mazda 6 The G8 proves GM has turned things around and is back on track!!!
